Twilight Creations, makers of Zombies!!! and Zombiegeddon,  will release a new zombie game in October:  Zombie Survival, The Board Game.  “It’s different from any of the other games we’ve done before,” Twilight Creations’ Kerry Breitenstein told us at Gen Con.  The game can be played by one to four players. “It makes a very good solo game,” he said.

 

The game is played in two parts.  In the first part, the player is buying and stocking his/her house for the eventual zombie apocalypse.  In the second part of the game, once everybody has their houses stocked, the zombies attack and eventually break into the houses and kill the players.  The last person to live wins.

 

The combat mechanic uses a dice roll into the cover of the game, where there’s a picture of a zombie with a circle around its head.  If a die lands in his head, it’s an automatic kill--a head shot.  If enough dice land in the body, adding to six or more, it’s a kill.  If the die lands anywhere else, it’s a miss.

 

MSRP is $39.99.
